I bring a wealth of experience to the project management field as a practitioner, presenter, mentor, and author. My multidimensional talents allow me to teach 52 different classes in 3 core subject areas: negotiation and conflict resolution skills, all aspects of project management, and team leadership. In the past 18 years, I have taught thousands of managers, team members, and executives from 32 industries onsite in locations around the world using e-learning as well as traditional classroom and consulting methods.Energy and excitement are contagious. Thus, I focus on techniques that enable project managers and teams to move quickly and with suppleness, skill, and control. I encourage participants and team members to challenge common practices and promote asking difficult questions. I take great pride in my ability to help companies reach their strategic objectives by successfully completing increased numbers of projects each year with no additional resources.When I am not motivating and developing others, I enjoy traveling, writing, scuba diving, flying, and horseback riding.AREAS OF EXPERTISE INCLUDE:• Global Training & Development• Project Management / PMP• MS Project / MS Project Server• E-Learning / Online Training• Course Development• On-Demand / Video Training• Coaching / Consulting• Verbal & Written Communication• Presentation Skills• Team Building• Process Improvement• Cross-Selling• Problem Solving• Client SuccessTECHNCIAL SKILLS:• Microsoft Project Server 2003 – 2016• Microsoft Project Professional 2003 – 2016• MindManager, @Risk, WBS Schedule Pro, ProChain • Microsoft Office (Word, Excel, PowerPoint)• E-Learning/Collaboration Platforms: WebEx, Centra Saba, Adobe Connect, GoToMeeting
